Abstract
We report a case of splenic metastasis from an endometrial cancer. The patient was a 66-year-old female who underwent hysterectomy for endometrial cancer 3 years prior. The CT scan showed multiple splenic tumors and tumor thrombi in the splenic hilum, and the PET-CT scan showed a strong accumulation in the same site, and also confirmed an accumulation in the right diaphragm. Distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, diaphragmatic tumor resection was performed. Pathological examination results confirmed diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma metastasis and diaphragmatic tumors. She received adjuvant chemotherapy, and has had no sign of recurrence for 3 years after surgery. Extension of prognosis can be expected by excision including splenic metastasis.
